ESPNscrum understands that Gloucester are chasing Sale Sharks second-row Kearnan Myall as they look to fill two spots in their lock department ahead of next season. Gloucester will lose skipper Jim Hamilton to France at the end of the current campaign while stalwart Alex Brown has been forced to retire.

And it seems that coach Nigel Davies is keen on recruiting Sale's Myall to bolster their second-row options. Davies is also reported to be interested in Leicester second-row Geoff Parling's services with the England lock yet to announce where he will play his rugby next season.
